I gathered from a CAG interview last night that Releford was held out purely as a precautionary measure. I would imagine he is practicing this afternoon.
I posted at the beginning of this thread on how we need a big night from Randolph and that he needed to produce some offense against the Dawgs in order for Bama to succeed. I've posted his final stats but again, he had 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, and 3 steals. He was 2-2 on 3s and had 0 personal fouls. He had a big game last year against MSU, but this was, JMO, his best game in a Tide uniform.
What I didn't see coming was Jacobs coming into his own. This was not the best front court we will face but he out positioned and out muscled MSU and came away with 16 points and 11 'bounds in only 27 minutes. Cooper shot well (3-5 on 3s) and finished with 16 points in only 26 minutes of play. Steele played flat and did not really contribute, as with Gueye. Pollard finished with 7 but did not help much on the boards, but he put exclaimation marks on the Bama win with a couple of thunder dunks.
All-in-all it shows the potential in this years team and what a balanced offensive attack can do to a defense! RTR
